What if the only way to save one hundred princes – destined for death – was to open a Doorway into the abysmal world of a children’s hospital? It is a place where hope snakes through the veins of sick children in the form of liquid poison, burning the cancer from the inside out.

Meet Sorel, an 11-year-old princess who has lived in hiding her entire life in a world called Arkomo which is not very far away at all. According to an ancient prophecy, Sorel’s existence portends doom for the Princes of Arkomo – all one hundred of them. Yet she lives among them in the Princes’ Keep – using her powers of Hiding to remain unseen and unnoticed with the help of her twin brother, Sabian.

Every century Arkomo’s four kings perform a spell on the eve of the winter solstice that steals the life force of their sons so they can remain young for another hundred years. Sorel has guessed this secret, but if she reveals her identity to warn the princes, she will be condemned to death.

Meet Grace, an 11-year-old girl from New York who has just been diagnosed with a rare liver tumor that’s slowly killing her. Grace hates the hospital and all the doctors and nurses who won’t stop poking and prodding her. But most of all, Grace hates the stupid tumor that’s stolen everything from her. She’s depressed, in pain and about to give up until she meets Sorel – a child only she can see – and learns about Arkomo – a place she used to dream about when she was just a little kid.
